Why am I excluded? I just looked through all the Posts in the back end, and I see nothing back there that relates to this that’s either scheduled or in the Drafts. Are you cooking up a surprise for us all? Going to stay up late writing it?

That’s the back end of a 1961 Rambler Ambassador with the retractable trunk option. This feature didn’t sell well because of its extra cost, but it made parallel parking MUCH easier for a six-passenger family car. Quite the collectable!

As opposed to the much more recent J-Lo extendable trunk option designed to allow a family of 6 to carry the luggage of 12! Parallel parking remained a theoretical possibility, but has not yet been successfully achieved by purchasors.
